ROSEMONT, Ill, April 17, 2018 (Newswire.com) - The 65 finalists in the IHA Global Innovations Awards (GIA) for product design have been announced by the International Housewares Association. The annual competition recognizes innovation and excellence in retail housewares with entrants spanning the globe and covering 13 unique categories. One of five finalists in the Household & Home Electrics category, the Quilo™ 3-in-1 Fan, passed rigorous criteria determined by a panel of industry experts. Qualifying products were proven to be unique in appearance and innovative in function, providing real benefit to the user while embracing ecological responsibility.

The Quilo™ 3-in-1 Fan with Evaporative Cooler and Humidifier was unveiled on Kickstarter in Summer 2017. Lightweight, with sleek curves and an ergonomic design, it broke new ground in the swamp cooler market with its original, brushless DC motor. Whisper-quiet and using only seven-watts of energy on its lowest setting, the Quilo™ 3-in-1 was designed for maximum performance with minimal energy consumption and lowest noise intrusion.
